Oh, yes, I know you…

An Acquaintance is an individual who has unique skills that may come in handy. Cultivating acquaintances is often wise. Once acquired, additional storylets and options can appear in various places around Fallen London and elsewhere, especially as your relationship improves. Improvement in your Acquaintance is reflected in an associated Acquaintance Quality.

Some of the Acquaintances have more game interactions than others and are called "Major" on this page. The other Acquaintances, "Minor" ones, are detailed farther below. (Some of these Minor Acquaintances are reflected in a Story Quality, instead of an Acquaintance Quality, but are listed here for completeness.)

Major Acquaintances

These four Acquaintances affect a number of different storylets and many have Opportunity Cards describing encounters to them.

These acquaintances, once obtained, could be visited in certain locations in Fallen London. (For example, a storylet in Veilgarden would appear that would allow you to visit the Repentant Forger.) In 2013, visting an acquaintance could be done through a special Opportunity Card, described below.

The Regretful Soldier acquaintance can be acquired through the an option on the "Deal with a drunk old soldier" opportunity card. There are only a few chances (as of this writing) to encounter the Regretful Soldier.

The Sardonic Music-Hall Singer acquaintance can be acquired in Ladybones Road in an optional ending for the Absconding Devil storylet or during the Bag a Legend ambition. Interactions with the Sardonic Music-Hall Singer also happens through these Opportunity Cards.
